<h2>\newcounter</h2>


<p><tt>\newcounter{newname}[oldcounter]</tt></p>


<p>The <tt>\newcounter</tt> command defines a new counter named

    <tt>newname</tt>. The optional argument <tt>oldcounter</tt> must

    be the name of an already defined counter; if present the new

    counter, <tt>newname</tt>, will be reset whenever

    <tt>oldcounter</tt>, the counter named in the optional argument,

    is incremented.</p>
